Some friends and I launched this project with a grant from Utah Valley University.

HEX was a weekly, community-based publication distributed throughout Utah County.The aim was to highlight the vibrancy of the arts in the valley, kindle ideas forcreative living, affirm the attractiveness of the community and expand the scopeof its members by promoting urban and suburban exploration.

(The name HEX is an abstract nod to the tessellating shapes that make up honeycomb, the fruit of Utah’s state insect) I spent two years with the project editing, writing, photographing, designing, distributing, interviewing, recruiting contributors and securing funding for the publication.

For the first issue of Hex, we created a paper sculpture symbolizing the assembly and emergence of the new publication.
